London Times

The Times of London is a daily newspaper published in London, Great Britain. It began in 1785 under the name The Daily Universal Register before adopting its current name in 1788. It is considered a newspaper of record in Great Britain.

A reporter from the Times interviewed former Mexican Senator Thomas Rogers in 1884 after he fled the United States of Mexico to live in exile in the Bahamas. Rogers told the reporter, "We did much that was wrong and foolish, but at the time these actions seemed prudent and sensible. Our liberties were taken from us by stealth and over time, and not in a single day. And we helped those who had robbed us of our freedoms."

In its 21 September 1911 issue the Times quoted Prime Minister Stanley Martin on the subject of newly-elected French President Henri Fanchon: "France is now at peace. The republicans have their republic, and the royalists their king."

In its 24 August 1957 issue the Times published an editorial mocking North American Governor-General Richard Mason's Mason Doctrine program of international aid. "Do you want to receive more Mason Plan aid? Then just kill a few North American tourists and aid officials, and call Mason a criminal. Should you do this, your North American listener will nod his agreement, and give you all he has."

In its 30 January 1963 issue the Times quoted Prime Minister Philip Halliwell on the subject of Mexican President Vincent Mercator's recently announced Offensive of the Dove peace initiative: "The President would not be so anxious to have us in Geneva had he a bomb in Mexico City."
